Fitzpatrick, Colleen and Yeiser,
Andrew. DNA & Genealogy. (Fountain Valley, CA: Rice Book
Press). 2005.
This is probably the best of
the bunch for anyone who doesn't remember what they learned about
DNA in high school or college biology. The authors started with a
definition and explanation of DNA and then moved on to the type of
DNA used by genetic genealogiests. They have also included
information on deep ancestry testing along with any number of
charts and diagrams to make it not only interesting for the layman
but clearer for all of us.
